EDUCATING THE FORCE
Beyond "Conventional Wisdom": Evaluating the PLA's South China Sea Bases in Operational Context
J. Michael Dahm
Imagine entering a dark room. You can neither see nor hear, but your adversary can see and hear everything. Your opponent lives in the room and knows its every contour. For you, there are only a few ways in … or out. You may believe that you have the edge in technology and training. Allies and partners offer their support. But in the confines of the room, you cannot determine where to point your weapons and you are unable to communicate with your friends. In the dark, your foe watches and waits, preparing to pick off your team one-by-one from unexpected directions. If you reveal your position, or call for help, those in the shadows will hear.
This is the nightmare that U.S. military planners face in the South China Sea.
China's Spratly Island outposts' offer Beijing decisive information superiority against any challenger in the South China Sea. Their primary purpose is not military power projection and the deployment of weapons, but information power. The Chinese bases' main contribution is to facilitate substantial command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities in the South China Sea. International legal opinion notwithstanding, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) behaves as if the militarized island-reefs are within Chinese territory. The outposts have developed into hardened military bases that have given the Chinese de facto control of what Beijing regards as its waters. Similar to military bases found on the mainland, the South China Sea outposts are integrated into a larger Chinese joint force system-of-systems that supports evolving PLA strategies.
Greg Poling recently argued in War on the Rocks that "The Conventional Wisdom on China's Island Bases Is Dangerously Wrong." He asserted that China's outposts possess game-changing military capabilities that support Chinese presence in the South China Sea — capabilities that are often dismissed by U.S. decision-makers who believe the bases will be easily neutralized in a conflict. In response, Olli Pekka Suorsa provided a counter-argument that "The Conventional Wisdom Still Stands," and the U.S. military does indeed have the capability to roll back Chinese military capabilities with relatively little effort. While Poling's article more accurately captured the scope of the challenges involved in targeting the Chinese outposts, both authors have probably underestimated the operational obstacles the bases create for any challenger to Chinese dominance in the South China Sea.
Western assessments of the Chinese artificial islands typically mirror the American way of war —focusing almost exclusively on the outposts' capacity to deliver kinetic weapons — as if strike capabilities represent the foundations of Chinese operational concepts. They do not. Rather, any net assessment of military capabilities must be informed by the dynamics of PLA strategy, China's potential adversaries, and South China Sea geography at the operational level of war. Whatever advantages the island-reef bases offer the PLA and Chinese coast guard in terms of logistics and sustained presence, Chinese operations will be limited by the range at which the PLA can control information — its ability to sense the battlespace and command its military forces.
Informationized Warfare Operational Concepts
The PLA's overarching focus on achieving information superiority as a tactical, operational, and strategic requirement cannot be overstated. Chinese "informationized warfare" (信息化作战) and its information-centric operational concepts are largely misunderstood and underappreciated in the West. Put simply, if the industrial age ushered in mechanized warfare, the Chinese believe that the information age has led to informationized warfare. "Information power" (信息力) is the operational expression of informationized warfare and is the first among what the PLA refer to as the "basic elements of campaign power." Information power, according to the Chinese, is more important than what the U.S. military holds at the center of its operational concepts — the industrial-age warfare elements of firepower and maneuver. Firepower and maneuver, especially long-range precision-strike capabilities, are certainly important to Chinese operational design. However, the PLA believes that strength in these areas is simply not as critical to operational success as achieving information superiority.
Information power — a military's ability to achieve and sustain battlespace information superiority — is an operational-level concept that manifests as what one sees or hears in the cockpit, on the bridge of a ship, or in a command center. It is not about hacking social media, influencing populations, or higher-level information operations focused on manipulating the narrative surrounding a conflict. The concept of information power is about battlespace awareness and the ability to preserve information for one's own weapon systems while simultaneously denying battlespace information to one's adversary. Chinese concepts are more analogous to the former U.S. command and control warfare doctrine than to present-day U.S. doctrine for "Joint Operations in the Information Environment."
While often reviled by China-watchers as cliché, the analogy that China is playing the game of Go, or Weiqi, while the United States is playing chess is nevertheless an apt analogy for how both sides conceptualize military strategy. The objective of Weiqi (围棋) is to surround one's opponent, leading to decisive engagements to remove the other player's pieces and ultimately win by occupying more space on the board. To a large degree, this reflects the Chinese approach in the South China Sea — constraining adversaries in literal and virtual space, "occupying space on the board," and setting the conditions to eliminate foreign forces quickly and decisively if necessary.
The U.S. military approach is much more like chess, a game of maneuver and attrition that seeks capitulation by neutralizing a critical center of gravity behind enemy lines (e.g., the king). In the South China Sea, China seeks to seize the operational initiative at the outset, denying the United States and its allies battlespace information in order to prevent American forces from maneuvering across the board and employing firepower against what the PLA perceives as its operational center of gravity — its purposefully robust command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system-of-systems. Ultimately, this raises questions about whether U.S. firepower and maneuver strategies will prevail against a Chinese strategy that starves American systems of battlespace information. Meanwhile, redundant and resilient capabilities support PLA long-range weapons with a seemingly uninterrupted flow of intelligence and battlespace information.
"Active Defense" is Not Defensive
The Chinese are not in a defensive crouch waiting to be attacked in the South China Sea. PLA informationized warfare strategies and operational concepts comport with the Chinese concept of "active defense" — being strategically defensive while operationally offensive.
U.S. military planners have unilaterally labeled Chinese military capabilities as "anti-access/area denial" capabilities. This label has produced a myth that the PLA actually has a defensive "anti-access/area denial" strategy or a "counter-intervention" strategy. Certainly, China has plans to employ substantial military capabilities to thwart a U.S. military intervention. However, the Chinese military, like its U.S. counterpart, prefers to seize the operational initiative and execute offensive operations. The PLA will always seek to avoid falling into defensive reactions. The American focus on overcoming anti-access/area denial capabilities shifts attention away from Beijing's strategies that are designed to rapidly achieve offensive objectives such as seizing territory, punishing a regional adversary, or securing resources. U.S. counter-strategies may address defensive capabilities, but do not directly counter Chinese offensive strategies and the reasons why the United States might intervene in the first place. Moreover, U.S. strategies seemingly seek to defeat PLA anti-access/area denial weapons systems but do not necessarily address what the PLA sees as its own operational center-of-gravity — its information power.
Chinese informationized warfare theory advanced since the early 2000s clearly identifies friendly and enemy information-related systems-of-systems as critical operational centers of gravity. See, for example, a recent Chinese language article from the PLA Daily newspaper, "体系作战如何破网'点穴" ("How to Destroy Network 'Critical Nodes' in System-of-Systems Operations"). The PLA's requirement for diverse and redundant communications and reconnaissance to prevail in a high-end confrontation against an enemy's system-of-systems is reflected in the clearly evident, but often overlooked, redundant and resilient information power capabilities present on the PLA's South China Sea outposts.
A review of open-source material and commercial satellite imagery reveals significant communications capabilities on China's artificial island-reefs that include undersea fiber-optic cable, multi-band satellite communications, high-frequency broadband arrays, troposcatter communications, and more. ISR capabilities are similarly redundant and diverse, and include frequency-diverse radar systems, electronic intelligence systems, and half a dozen microwave over-the-horizon radars (similar to the Russian Monolit-B) that can detect surface targets hundreds of miles beyond the horizon. That is to say nothing of the potential for relocatable systems, such as electronic warfare systems, ISR aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, or unmanned systems that may eventually operate from the island-reefs. All of the information power capabilities on China's South China Sea outposts will work together prior to and throughout military operations to deny an adversary access to information while preserving the PLA's own access to information.
Networked communications capabilities present on the Chinese outposts extend information control to non-military or irregular forces in the South China Sea. Chinese coast guard ships and craft that may not enjoy sophisticated military communications and datalinks can be networked into a broad-area surveillance grid using line-of-sight radios. The PLA's maritime militia are Chinese civilian fishermen enlisted to provide rear-area security, act as lookouts against foreign military forces, or act with plausible deniability against a rival nation's fishermen. The island-reefs can now command and control the maritime militia through the use of rudimentary voice communications or even 4G (and soon probably 5G) cell-phone service from each of the island's 160-foot communications towers.
In military terms, the information power capabilities evident on China's South China Sea outposts represent the terrestrial segment of a joint force system-of-systems that integrates space-, air-, sea-, and land-based reconnaissance and communications. Should an adversary not be deterred by this information overmatch, these capabilities may be further integrated with significant long-range strike capabilities emanating from the outposts themselves, the Chinese mainland, surface ships, submarines, or an operational Chinese aircraft carrier. The mere threat of targeting and strikes may drive enemy ships and aircraft into emission control status — switching off radars and communications to avoid electronic detection — further denying the PLA's adversaries battlespace information.
The South China Sea outposts fulfill all the requirements for what the PLA calls an "offensive campaign against coral island-reefs" (对珊瑚岛礁进攻战役), and there is every possibility that they were built expressly for this purpose. This operation was outlined in the 2006 Chinese Academy of Military Sciences' Science of Campaigns, some seven years before construction of the artificial islands began. The objectives for this campaign included recapturing an "enemy occupied" island-reef, promoting national territorial sovereignty, and defending maritime rights and interests. The seminal Academy of Military Sciences text describes the island-reef campaign as occurring in a complex battlespace distant from the Chinese mainland, exacerbating challenges in air cover, communications, intelligence and logistics. The offensive island-reef campaign outline recommends the PLA establish a "comprehensive intelligence and reconnaissance system-of-systems" (完善的情报侦察体系); establish a single, integrated communications network among ships, aircraft, island-reefs, and the mainland; and produce accurate forecasts of hydrological and meteorological conditions. While a direct assault on any foreign-held Spratly island could be launched from a PLA Navy amphibious ship, the Chinese island-reefs provide all of the underlying information power capabilities and logistics outlined in the campaign doctrine.
Setting aside the potential of strike fighters or attack helicopters operating from outpost airfields, it is worth noting that the combined firepower of all the major island-reefs — Fiery Cross Reef, Subi Reef, and Mischief Reef — does not appear to equal the potential firepower of a single Type-055 (Renhai) cruiser, with its 112 vertical-launch-system (VLS) cells. One might conclude that the outpost-based surface-to-air and anti-ship missiles are there simply as defenses for the Spratly Island area, given that any number of Type-055 cruisers, Type-052D destroyers, or other combatants could be deployed throughout the South China Sea to launch strikes. PLA Navy surface action groups, for their part, would likely patrol in relative silence, making them difficult for an adversary to target since they could receive battlespace awareness generated by or passing through installations on the Chinese island-reefs.
The South China Sea outposts are not necessarily the forward edge of layered Chinese defenses when considering PLA "active defense," and an offensive campaign against advancing adversaries like the U.S. Navy or Air Force. Some have speculated that the South China Sea outposts' long runways may be used to extend the range of Chinese bombers. A more likely use of the limited aircraft parking space on the island-reefs would be for ISR aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. The KJ-500 airborne early warning aircraft, Y-9JB electronic intelligence aircraft, or Y-9Q anti-submarine warfare/maritime patrol aircraft could launch from the island-reefs and immediately be within air-defense sanctuaries generated by the outposts' defensive fighters and surface-to-air missiles. Outpost-based aircraft would also enjoy several hours of additional on-station time in the South China Sea compared to mainland-based aircraft. These aircraft would create radar coverage and an airborne communications layer using datalinks and line-of-sight comms, pumping real-time intelligence hundreds of miles beyond the surface horizon to forward-deployed PLA Navy combatants with deep weapons magazines. The graphic below depicts the potential radar or electronic intelligence coverage for a single aircraft like the KJ-500 flying at 25,000 feet over the Spratly Islands.

Employing the island-reefs as airfields where carrier-borne aircraft could divert in an emergency may also prove significant in the coming years. Even during peacetime steaming, operating aircraft from a ship is a challenging endeavor. There are any number of reasons why aircraft might not be able to return aboard the carrier, ranging from bad weather to mechanical failures to combat damage. Even proficient U.S. Navy air wings understand that operating out of range of a friendly land-based airfield is a very risky proposition. Assuming a 400 nm range from an aircraft carrier to a divert airfield, the Chinese outposts may allow PLA Navy carrier operations throughout most of the South China Sea in the near future. The new Chinese-built runway at Dara Sakor, Cambodia likely demonstrates that foreign-based PLA fighters are not necessary if an aircraft carrier can generate strike-fighter coverage in the shadow of a friendly nation with a suitable divert airfield. Also, until Chinese carriers are built with catapults to support large carrier-based airborne control and reconnaissance aircraft like the KJ-600, Chinese carrier operations will necessarily rely on land-based aircraft for this role. Beyond how the PLA bases are influencing China's South China Sea neighbors today, policy makers should consider the geopolitical implications when a Chinese aircraft carrier patrols at the southern end of China's "nine-dash line" or in the Gulf of Thailand. While a PLA Navy aircraft carrier might operate anywhere in the shaded area in the graphic below, the combat range of carrier based aircraft extends several hundred miles beyond those limits.

PLA's Defensive Capabilities in the South China Sea
A quintessentially offensive force like the U.S. military has adopted a view that the purpose of defensive actions is essentially to create more favorable conditions for offensive actions, a precept not lost on the PLA. Chinese "anti-access/area denial" weapons and capabilities are very real, but again, the PLA does not have a defensive strategy as much as defensive capabilities that will ultimately set conditions for offensive action. There are nevertheless several Chinese defensive capabilities worth mentioning as they relate to PLA information power and offensive operations in the South China Sea.
American stealth capabilities may not offer the salvation from Chinese South China Sea defenses that some have suggested. Following the erroneous B-2 attack on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1999, the Chinese spent the next twenty years focused on defeating U.S. stealth technology. Counter-stealth was one of the required capabilities in the PLA's "three attacks, three defenses" (三打三防) concept that emerged in the early-2000s. The Chinese have developed a number of counter-stealth radars employing lower-frequencies where conventional stealth technology is not necessarily effective. Whether such radars can generate a firing solution against a low-observable aircraft is an open question, but it's worth noting that the Chinese claim that their counter-stealth radar technology does work and may challenge what has been assumed to be a significant U.S. technological advantage.
The Pentagon also should not take undersea dominance for granted, especially in the South China Sea. For the moment, even the Chinese agree that the U.S. Navy enjoys a significant advantage in submarine technology. But in the constrained operating environment of the South China Sea and surrounding seas, the PLA would likely compensate for their shortcomings with more time and space to conduct anti-submarine warfare operations. The Chinese outposts, in addition to deployed PLA ships and aircraft, essentially give China de facto air and surface superiority, at least at the outset of any South China Sea conflict. Those superiorities will allow for unimpeded surface ship operations and flights of PLA Navy fixed-wing anti-submarine warfare aircraft like the Y-9Q. Facing PLA Navy surface ship sonar, helicopter dipping sonar and broad-area searches by Y-9Q submarine hunters, how long can U.S. submarines evade detection and still deliver kinetic effects in the confines of the South China Sea?
The seven Chinese-occupied island-reefs should not be assessed as individual, stand-alone bases, but as an integrated South China Sea system-of-systems. As a result, the suggestion that the Chinese island-reef outposts are vulnerable because of a lack of survivable, redundant systems misses the point. The Chinese bases collectively present a hard target, as Poling accurately stated in his article.
Chinese construction in the South China Sea seems to reflect the adage that there is a certain "quality in quantity." According to commercial satellite imagery, across the seven Chinese island reefs, there are 33 major satellite dishes, dozens of smaller-aperture dishes, over 50 high-frequency communications antennas, and over 30 radars for air and surface search. This is to say nothing of mobile or relocatable ISR, communications or weapons systems that could be deployed virtually anywhere across the combined five square miles of artificial islands. Approximately 250,000 square feet of underground storage is available on each major outpost to protect weapons systems and munitions. Rough measurements indicate that each major island-reef could store more than 65 million gallons of fuel in buried tanks to support weeks of un-resupplied operations. For all the discussion of cratering runways on the South China Sea outposts, few seem to consider what may be relatively modest operational requirements. That is, if the PLA's requirement is to have a single 5,000-foot runway available for combat in the South China Sea, they have built three 10,000-foot runways that may provide necessary operational resilience in the face of attacks.
Framing Future Analysis
In any operational-level conflict, the PLA intends to engage its opponents in a herculean struggle for battlespace information superiority. While strike capabilities are integral to PLA informationized warfare, the South China Sea outposts demonstrate the strategy's emphasis on information control. The island-reefs primarily act as "information hard-points," harboring and enabling significant communications and reconnaissance capabilities as well as counters to adversary information control. Future analysis of the South China Sea should consider more than just the viability of U.S. offensive strikes against static Chinese defenses. Counting up weapons and targets is a convenient shorthand to assess materiel power, but such an approach does not address the merits of China's information-centric strategy.
The analysis in this article does not offer a comprehensive net assessment of American and Chinese offensive and defensive capabilities in the South China Sea. A reader should not take away any assertion that PLA capabilities in the South China Sea are insurmountable, or that the Chinese threat is "ten feet tall." Both the Chinese and U.S. militaries have profound strengths as well as critical vulnerabilities. Whether the PLA's information-centric operational concepts can win out over American concepts centered on firepower and maneuver is worthy of debate.
The capabilities that the PLA is developing in the South China Sea reveal China's informationized strategy and offensive operational concepts — operational concepts that the 2018 National Defense Strategy calls on the U.S. military to both understand and counter by developing operational concepts of its own. Mao's defensive "People's War" is a relic of the past. The fundamental tenants of informationized warfare, Chinese military offensive operational concepts, and how the PLA's growing capabilities may be applied in context should be taken into careful consideration as the Chinese begin to extend their military reach beyond the South China Sea.

I need you to know something about me and how I approach this space... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Social media is just a small snapshot of someone's life. What you don't know is that behind the scenes I feel pretty scared and vulnerable navigating this space. I don't come with bold confidence but with fear and trembling (and a side helping of awkwardness). I love it here and I also want to quit every single week. But in spite of how I feel, I have chosen to just keep showing up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I share that here because I want to tear down any fake social media curtains. And I want YOU to know that you don't need to feel confident or bold all the time. Sometimes we just need to show up afraid. I don't know how to be vulnerable and also not afraid. Maybe it's just me, but maybe it's you also. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sending love to you today! Also, I so enjoyed learning from my sister in law @robinson4236 over these past few days. I hope you were encouraged by the raising strong daughters series. I sure was!


These personal injury incidents are all too common. You're making your way downtown, driving fast, people passing – and YOU CRASH. You thought I was going to say "You're homebound" aren't you? Nah, just checking how well you know your 2000's playlist (Nice song btw V. Carlton!). But really, these scenarios really do happen often. In America alone, civilian car crash accidents rose to 37,133 back in 2017. This ridiculously high incidences of personal injury cases can really make you think.
After encountering so many people with the same case, I've observed one popular expression present in the faces of drivers who find themselves caught in-between situations like these – each one of them literally looks like a deer in headlights. You know how when things happen so fast, you just end up staring into space looking like you're having a hard time processing what's going on around you. Yes, that kind of expression.
It just gets interesting after this point though. The next few minutes after the car accident are crucial. You either become a newly baptized criminal or a debt-ridden guy. When it comes to a personal injury case, the latter would be a more promising path to go down in.
The government often gives seminars and drills in handling natural catastrophes and emergencies. I suggest they give one for car accidents too. After all, a car accident basically qualifies as a catastrophe – from the driver's point of view. But since there's still no official "personal injury" emergency protocol for this kind of incident, we'll improvise our own.
Know that initially, nothing is your fault – yet. If you opt for a hit and run then everything becomes your fault automatically. Instead of doing community service and paying hospital bills, you'll become a total renegade and may be found guilty by default. So remain calm and seated. Clear your head. Breathe in and out. When you regain your composure proceed to step two.
Remember, a real man (or woman) can face life's greatest ordeals squarely. Running away is practically the same as admitting you're at fault.
Stop being a deer and get out of your seat the moment you've come to your senses. Someone could be in agonizing pain out there – go help out. It's your car that did the damage, innocent or not, it is your natural responsibility as a fellow human to offer aid to those in pain or have a personal injury.
After dialing 911 or calling a paramedic over, it's time to assess your own situation. Recall the incident and find out how and why the accident happened. Was your driving really at fault? Many cases of car accidents happen because people themselves are careless with crossing highway streets. Some are guilty of jaywalking or red-light crossing. In these cases, you're hardly the one at fault. If anything, you become the victim and will not be held responsible for any unintended damage.
A conclusion you may not have come to realize if you ran away right after the crash.
Rely on Larsen, Larsen, Nash, and Larsen for all your personal injury cases. For more information or to schedule a free consultation, call today at (801) 204-9224.


Hey guys I hope you been doing well. Sorry I haven't wrote in a while, I've been really busy and I haven't had time to be on here. I been working on websites for clients and friends and also my own. Before we get into this post I want to add that I hit a new goal of making money online this month. I made it $3,000 a month online mostly due to webcams! It took me long enough but I finally did it so I wanted to add if you really want to make money online its possible. Trust me I am not the sharpest tool in the shed and if I can do it you can do it!
I know I've said this in the past and I will say it again, I don't know much about SEO. I am not an SEO guy, so if that is what your looking for I am the wrong person. I did however read a small guide online and I forgot where I read it at but it explained backlinking to me in a way it's never been taught before. The analogy it used was voting. The more powerful and trusting people are the more people will follow them. If this trusting person backs another person who he or she says he trust then people will follow that person. That is the way it is with backlinking. The more powerful and trusting a website is, the more powerful the backlink will be. If a white supremacist says he is voting for a person, most of the time people will flee from that candidate (I said most of the time, there is always the exception..hint 2016 election), that's a bad backlink. So what we want is good powerful trusting backlinks and what is better than Amazon.com!
bro u inspired me really hard, i do IM full-time as well now and could really say that i am living the dream and not trapped by the 9-5, keep up with the great content/blogging and of course BHW threads, all the best in the future 2017 will be bigger than ever!!!!
Thank you G..I appreciate it and so far it has been, when you don't see me on this blog so much you know I'm doing well some where, I don't have to work now but I do just to be cautious I am thinking about leaving soon.

Q: mongodb - $lookup with $if operator I am building a side project. where I want to use nested $lookup and $unwind if certain condition match. I created simple prototype below. some users have numbers and some don't have numbers. I want to do join if the number is not null or undefined
here is the code -
users.aggregate([

{

        $lookup: "number",
        localField:"user.number",
        foreignField:"name",
        as:"number"

   }
    {
                $unwind: {
                    path: "$number",
                    preserveNullAndEmptyArrays: true
                }
    }
    ,
   {

        $lookup: "countries",
        localField:"number.countrycode",
        foreignField:"name",
        as:"countries"

   },

   {

      $unwind:"countries",
      //preserveNullAndEmptyArrays

   },
   $project:{

       name:1,
       number:"$number.phoneNumber",
       countryCode:"$countries.countryCode"

    }
 ])

Output:
[{

name:"yashraj basan"
number:"123345677",
countryCode:"US"
},
{

name:"krutik basan"
number:"123345679",
countryCode:"FR"
}]

Right now i am getting all users who have numbers but i am want both users who have number and who don't have number
Expected output:
[{

    name:"yashraj basan"
    number:"123345677",
    countryCode:"US"
    },
    {

    name:"krutik basan"
    number:"123345679",
    countryCode:"FR"
    },
    {
      name:"dhruvam basan",
      number:"",
      countrycode:""
    },{
     name:"foo bar",
number:"",
countrycode:""
    }]

I appreciate all your inputs. thank you

A: There's no need to run $lookup conditionally. You can do it for every user but then when you use $unwind you can take advantage of preserveNullAndEmptyArrays option:
{
    $lookup: {
        from:"countries",
        localField:"user.number.countrycode",
        foreignField:"name",
        as:"countries"
    }
},
{
    $unwind: {
        path: "countries",
        preserveNullAndEmptyArrays: true
    }
}

We decorated the party room with colorful balloons & streamers. I also purchased two crayon ballons to add to the Arts & Crafts party theme.
I collected some of my daughter's favorite drawings she had made, matted them on colored construction paper and hung them around the room to resemble an art gallery.
I found a large fabric crayon hanging to accent the party room. It was perfect! We also personalized the Crayon theme cardboard decoration pictured here with my daughter's name and age. We hung it on the front door to welcome the birthday party guests.
Another fun party decorating idea would be to purchase a white paper tablecloth and have your child make handprints on it with finger paint. Once dry, you will have a terrific tablecover for your Arts & Crafts theme party!
I decided to make cupcakes for my daughter's Arts and Crafts Crayon birthday party.I decorated the cupcakes with icing tinted red, blue, green and orange. I topped the cupcakes with colorful sprinkles, crayon box cupcake rings and crayon cupcake picks.
There is another crayon cupcake pick design on the market that would also work well for your celebration.I placed the finished crayon cupcakes into a fun cupcake stand and added crayon candles.
Another Arts and Crafts Crayon theme cake and cupcake decoration includes Crayon Sugar Decorations. These Crayons Sugar Dec-Ons includes 6 pieces per package. Each sugar decoration is approximately 2.125 inches across.
This printed Paint Splatter duct tape would make a wonderful addition to your Arts & Crafts party. The roll of duct tape is 10 yards long.
unique way to serve your birthday party treats!
For fun party snack trays, I purchased two plastic paint palettes. I filled each paint palette with colorful Goldfish crackers and pretzel sticks.
These paint palettes would also make a wonderful birthday party activity. You could play the classic penny toss game and have the guests try to toss the pennies into the different sections of the palette. Each section would have a point value.
For the birthday party favors, I purchased Smiley Face Pencil Cases to use as the Party Bags.
I filled the pencil case with smiley stickers, crayon bubbles, a personalized pencil, tattoos, bendable crayon characters, crayon erasers, crayon keychains, and assorted candies.
I placed the party favor bags in a basket and used them to decorate the party room.
Another Arts & Crafts party favor idea would be to go to your local dollar store and purchase inexpensive paints and paint brushes Other party favor supplies include crayon banks, crayon keychains, handprint favor box, inflatable crayons, crayon favor box and more.
great for party favors or for a fun crayon party activity!
I came across this Rainbow Crayon Cupcake Recipe the other day and thought it would be perfect for an Arts & Crafts Crayon birthday party!
Making crayon cupcakes is a great way to recycle old and broken crayons and they also make a fun party favor or party acitivity.You could make the rainbow crayon cupcakes ahead of time and either 1) wrap them in cello bags and hand them out as inexpensive party favors, or 2) have them out on the table for the party guests to color with.
Another idea would be to make the crayon cupcakes during the party. Have a bunch of old crayons out on the table when the kids first arrive. The children can each take a small handful of crayons, remove the labels and break them into pieces. Then they can each put their handful of crayons into a cupcake liner. After the crayon cupcakes are baked and cooled, they can be used during the party or put into the party favor bags for the kids to take home.
Since I knew I was going to have a large number of guests, I purchased crafts that the kids could do without much assistance including Magic Scratch Bookmarks, Magic Scratch Glasses, Design Your Own Visor and Artist Cups. I also purchased plain white bags for the kids to decorate with stickers and markers when they first arrived. They used these bags to keep all of their party goodies in!
I purchased a colorful bean bag game. This coordinated with the crayon theme nicely.
A take off on 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. I purchased birthday party poster board at Staples and drew a large paint palette on it with the yellow color palette missing. I accented the palette by taping on real paint brushes. I cut out yellow circles and put each child's name on it. During the party, I added some double stick tape to the circle so the kids could stick it to the game board.
I purchased a large inflatable crayon. The kids did the Limbo Rock under the giant crayon!
I had searched and searched, but could not find a good pinata for the party theme, so I went with a colorful #6 pinata for my daughter. It wasn't until after the birthday party that I found the Crayon Box pinata featured below.
I purchased two colorful crayon pots to store the party game prizes. They also made a great party decoration as they were out on the table during the party.
I decided to hand out porcupine characters for prizes since they were colorful and fun!After the party, you could use these crayon pots to store your child's crayons or art supplies. You could also plant a flower in them and give them out as teacher gifts!
I purchased Arts & Crafts Crayon theme shirts for the Birthday girl and her sister and brother to wear.
They were very cute!I am featuring some fun Arts & Crafts Crayon theme T-Shirts below.
I always have my kid's birthday parties at home.
I always have my kid's birthday parties outside the home.
Sometimes I have it at home and sometimes I have it outside the home.
Hi Jane, I found an amazing Crayon pinata and have added the link to this page. Hope this helps!
Where did you find the crayon pinata?
Fun idea. I have to do this sometime.
This lens is so very sweet! The palettes with snacks is very original!
Love the idea of filling plastic paint palettes with snacks.
The Birthday parity theme idea is very nice, Really an Arts & Crafts Crayon theme party would be perfect for children.
Instead of kids actually eating crayons, they can eat crayon-like edible foods instead ... great idea!
Cool Lens and Ideas, you're very talented.
Crayons are great and they're not just for kids birthdays. I've just been on a Crayola Crayons fancy dress theme party with my friends, it was brilliant fun.

Honesty is the best policy. That's absolutely true in the case of businesses. As a matter of fact, being transparent by including genuine information and updating it on a regular basis on your website instills a sense of trust. It actually lets people know your company is legitimate. You can take this transparency to an entirely new level by providing insights into the inner workings of the company, including salaries, culture etc.
Dig deeper into customer problems with the help of monitoring and tracking tools. Once you've known their pain points, it's time to look out for the solutions. The best way of doing this is to put yourself in their position. This makes them feel valued and that you are concerned.
Apologizing whether the company is at fault or not is a golden rule for winning customers' hearts. However, in the latter case, it's advisable to provide more than an apology. In such cases, it's better to employ a combined approach wherein a willing consultant can be hired to offer mutually beneficial solutions.
Nothing can win your customers like being confident about your products and services. When you are courageous enough to personally stand behind everything you do, customers are more than interested in doing business with you. After all, they do business with people and not simply a company.
Using these strategies, you can actually win your customers for a lifetime.

Q: How to click a table row to display a new table? I am trying to click a row data which will then display a new table with an external API.
I am using useEffect to fetch a URL which then goes into a ag-Grid-React table. If the user clicks on any row in a particular column, a new table should appear and replace the first table, based on another API.
I have Make, Model and Year as my three columns. When I click any row from the Model column, a new table should display with data on that selected Model.
Is there any general code/tutorials/documents or even pointers out there that could help with this issue?
I've tried looking at history API, filtering what I need, onClick event and so on, based on posts I've seen here.

A: You can do it by writing an onClick function on each rows of your Model column and then in that function, call your API and then render your table.
Something like this:
const MyComponent = () => {
    const [tableData, setTableData] = useState(null);

    useEffect(() => {
        // First API Call
        fetch(/* url */).then((response) => response.json()).then((response) => {
            setTableData(response);
        }).catch((error) => {
            console.log(error)
        });
    }, []);

    const handleOnClick = (model) => {
        fetch(/* url based on {model} */).then((response) => response.json()).then((response) => {
            setTableData(response);
        }).catch((error) => {
            console.log(error)
        });
    }

    if(tableData) {
        return (

                /* ... */
                 handleOnClick(/* model */)}>/* model */
                /* ... */

        );
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}


Let your imagination run free these days. Christmas, gifts, meals … everyone, deep down, feels it excited. Although that feeling may not be that strong, there was a time when we did were excited about Christmas. We were happy to receive the catalogs of the toy stores and even during breakfast we were not bothered by the advertisements. We spent hours leafing through those pages full of Playmobils, bikes, scooters, puzzles. So many things … that even on the "date of delivery" we were eaten away by the uncertainty of whether we had chosen well, or on the contrary, we were going to be unhappy all year with what would bring us Santa.
That time is childhood. Like we were once, now the kids are others. Maybe yours one or two, three more from your siblings and still your neighbour is relieving that feeling with her daughter.
Year after year, Barcelona never forgets who the trully protagonists of Christmas magic are. Thus, for more than a half century the Festival de la Infancia (the Children's Festival) has worked hard to enliven the joy of the little ones and, today, is the most important educational and entertainment event in the city and one of the most ancient in Catalonia that takes place during the Christmas holidays.
From December 27 to January 4, the 53rd edition will be held at the Montjuïc exhibition center, Fira Barcelona in Plaza España. This year the festival will count with new activities offered by Open Camp, the theme park of sports experiences inaugurated in Barcelona last June. In addition, taking advantage of the debut of El Gran Circo Americano in Barcelona on December 16, 2016 by presenting their Christmas show with a tent installed in Plaza del Universo (Fira de Barcelona in Montjuïc), the Children's Festival will also host circus activities from the hand of the Faggioni family.
New additions aside, among the scheduled activities and collaborators there will be a lack of authority presence. Moreover, there will be no activity related to the Police, or Mossos d'Esquadra. Even the Spanish Army will no longer have an exhibitor at the Barcelona Children's Festival for the first time since 2002.
Since 1963 the Children's Festival has been demanding a "school of citizenship", a true contact of children with the values of civility, solidarity, health and healthy food or respect for the environment. A project that concerns us all and already consolidated in Barcelona. Evenmore, with the star of Peppa Pig and her world of Pirates and Princesses, the Children's Festival is also an already consolidated paradise for our little ones at Christmas.
Love and Culture This Weekend for Sant Jordi!

LAMB3 mutations in generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa: Consequences at the mRNA and protein levels
Leena Pulkkinen, Marcel F. Jonkman, John A. McGrath, Astrid Kuijpers, Amy S. Paller, Jouni Uitto*
Generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB; OMIM no. 226650) is a rare hemidesmosomal variant of EB, inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. In previous studies, mutations in the gene (COL17A1) encoding the type XVII collagen, a transmembrane component of hemidesmosomes, were detected in most patients with GABEB. However, evidence for genetic defects in the laminin 5 genes has also been presented. In the present investigation, we examined three patients, representing two families with GABEB, for mutations in the LAMB3 gene. Heteroduplex scanning of the gene, followed by direct automated sequencing, revealed that Patient 1 was a compound heterozygote for a missense mutation (C293S) and a premature termination codon-causing mutation (1367delAC). The latter mutation resulted in accelerated mRNA decay, which rendered the corresponding mRNA transcript undetectable by reverse transcriptase-PCR. Patients 2 and 3, siblings with slightly different clinical presentations, were homozygous for a G→A transition affecting the last nucleotide of exon 7 (628G→A). This mutation resulted in amino acid substitution (E210K), as well as in multiple aberrant splice variants affecting exons 6 to 6. These observations expand the repertoire of LAMB3 mutations in nonlethal variants of EB, and they illustrate the consequences of the mutations at the mRNA and protein levels.

Member of Irish Parliament Calls on Government to Seek George Gibney's Extradition From the U.S.
Here's the 2000 Wheat Ridge (Colorado) Police Report on Rapist Irish National Team and USA Swimming Coach George Gibney
Tuesday Night Notes on the Exploding George Gibney / USA Swimming Story on Two Continents
by Irvin Muchnick
The Irish Times reported today that a member of Parliament wants the government to seek the extradition of a swim coach – obviously George Gibney – from the U.S. on criminal charges.
I do not have a web link for the news article. Here are the opening paragraphs:
"A call has been made for the Government to seek the extradition of a 'notorious' swimming coach accused of multiple cases of sex abuse who was granted a visa to live in the United States.
Independent TD Maureen O'Sullivan appealed to Taoiseach Enda Kenny to 'have a conversation with the Minister for Justice, with a view to reopening the case, with a view to extraditing and extradite this man back to Ireland.'
Ms O'Sullivan, who said she would not name the coach in the Dáil, warned of an urgency to deal with the case because an investigative journalist in the US was seeking information, with the assistance of prominent American politicians, on how this man was facilitated to get into America.
The Dublin Central TD said: 'I think it would leave this country, this Government very vulnerable when this information comes to light.'"
There is more to the Irish Times story, about the internal politics of how Gibney got away in the 1990s, and we'll discuss that as soon as I digest and understand it.
We are asking for comment on today's development from Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Jackie Speier.

You heard me. I had an entire week — AT HOME — ALONE.
How many wives and mothers of young children long to be able to say something like that?
Kaylee is in Florida for the month and this is a very busy travel time for Gregg and me. He's doing a National Guard thing east, I had a conference west, so on his way to his thing, Gregg dropped the boys off at my parents' house. He left on a Saturday, and I didn't have to be at my conference until Thursday night.
I'll admit, right or wrong, I was a little excited.
I'm used to being alone during the school day. Regardless, I kept listening for the sound of anyone else moving in the house. In my entire life, I don't think I've ever been alone for that long. It was kind of a weird experience over all.
I'd planned to write the remaining 3 novellas in my upcoming World War II series during the week. I know, you're thinking, "Three novellas???" But, I had NO ONE who needed ANYTHING AT ALL from me for about five full days. I type fast. The story is in my head. I could write uninterrupted for five full days!
I only wrote one novella.
It made me feel a little better.
I think my creative energy is available for the same amount of time every day, then it's just gone. I feel a little disappointed in myself; however, I've done a TON of research, and that will be necessary information when I do write the other two novellas during the next couple of weeks.
Without planning and preparation, a household without convenience foods makes it hard to feed one person. I ate more than one omelet, let me tell you.
I can go entire days without any noise at all – no television on, no person speaking to me, no radio. I'm not really a "talk to my pets" kind of person – I don't talk for no reason. I kind of want to have something to say if I'm going to speak, and a conversation with my dog or cat just isn't happening.
For a wife and mother of three who adores her husband and children, I never felt lonely during this week. I'm hoping it was just the realization that I knew what day I'd see everyone again and not that I'm über weird or something.
I washed all of the bedding and did every single bit of laundry in the house. The only thing in any laundry basket left are the pajamas I wore on my last day there. It felt WONDERFUL to throw away the mis-matched socks left in the basket. I HATE mis-matched socks, I HATE that basket, and after typing this, now I know I'm über weird.
No matter what, with no alarm on, I still woke up every single morning at 5:25. Sigh.
All in all, it was an interesting week. I finish my conference this afternoon and head to my parents to get my boys. Tomorrow we'll head on to where Gregg is. I'm hoping to see Kaylee by the end of the week.

Flood waters still rising, county officials assess damage
Updated: 11:24 PM EST Dec 29, 2015

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ga. (WJCL) -- Hank Ogle lives along the Oconee river in Uvalda, Georgia. He's got two places along the river and one of them is underwater from the flooding. Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Donnie Daniels says the worst is over but the water will keep rising. It rose two feet last night damaging two homes. Emergency crews say it's unclear just how much damage there is because they can't get to a lot of the houses because of the flooding. Ogle has lived in the Three Rivers Lane neighborhood for nearly 9 years. He says this tight knit neighborhood is filled with residents and people who vacation there from time to time. Ogle keeps his eye out for his neighbor's homes while they're away. He says he didn't want to leave his home soaked by the flood waters because he was worried about unwanted visitors. "I worry about people coming in and pillaging," says Ogle, "as the waters come up, you tend to start having a little thieving going on." The water flooded Dead River Road and Three Rivers Lane. There are several massive puddles on both roads. Ogle had a hard time driving his four wheeler through them. Now he's resorting to a different mode of transportation. "We're fixing to have to change over to a little inflatable pontoon boat from here on out," said Ogle. He's not worried about his house because he said he built it to handle floods like these. Ogle knows it's a risk to live along the river. "That's a part of the price you pay for living at the river and you know I knew that when I came in," said Ogle. Other people did leave their homes to seek higher ground. We're told the majority of them are staying at hotels or with friends. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has a deputy stationed where the water has flooded the roadway. They aren't allowing cars to plow through the three foot puddles. Daniels says they are worried about homeowners water supply. That's why they issued a boil water advisory. They say it's especially important if wells are underwater. "They've got to be very cautious. The water comes in around their homes even if it doesn't surround their house if it gets around their well water it's going to be contaminated." said Daniels, "people are going to have to start boiling their water." We're told the boil water advisory is for residents who live along Dead River Road and Three Rivers Lane. Emergency crews say they don't expect the water to recede completely until next week. They'll be back out on Wednesday to assess the damage.

Universe

Animals
The animals featuring in the series are primarily species native to England, though more exotic species are occasionally mentioned. The first book explains that in the years following the disappearance of all humans, the animals of Welkin, both those wild and once domesticated, made their way into the abandoned castles and villages, using what the humans had left behind.
Gradually the animals learned to speak human language and, to an extent, use human tools. While some of the animals were content to live in the forest, the mustelids in particular adapted to a more civilized way of living.
The otters and mink took to the riverways; the badgers kept to the subterranean territories; the pine martens stayed in the trees; of the remaining weasels, stoats, and now-feral ferrets, the stoats were the most ambitious and aggressive, and took control of Welkin.

Common Terms
Titles – The weasels and stoats use the terms jack and jill to refer to males and females, respectively. In the second arc, the shortened forms Jal and Jis are used in the same way humans use the titles Mr. and Mrs.
Hollyhockers – A popular form of gambling involving seeds thrown onto a surface in various patterns

Important Locations

Medieval Era
Halfmoon Wood – The forest where Sylver and his bandits live
Castle Rayn – Prince Poynt's castle, once inhabited by the humans
The unnamed marshes – The land of the rats, ruled over by the mad stoat Flaggatis.

Victorian Era
Muggidrear – The capital city of Welkin. It is split in half by the river Bronn. The south side is occupied by the humans, and the north is occupied by the animals.
Whistleminster Palace – The castle where queen Amarjit Nandhra Ilford lives and where the royal family lives

Living Statues
The island of Welkin is populated not only by animals, but statues created by humans that have since come to life. The statues have the ability to talk, but most do so rather poorly and have only limited intelligence. All statues wander Welkin constantly in search of their "First and Last Resting Place," that being the quarry from which the stones they were sculpted from were cut, or the forest from which the trees used to carve them were grown.

Magic

Technology

Thematic Elements

The comedic elements of the series rely heavily on the use of puns and literary references, including allusions to Shakespearean and Biblical stories.

December 10, 2013 by Susan B.
Even regarding my marriage, gray thinking in recovery has strengthened our relationship and reduced the bickering, not to mention the all-out nuclear wars. For instance, I used to go nuts when I saw how he worked on his computer. He takes five steps to my one. In the past, we would have huge, escalating fights about such nonsense because I couldn't stand for him to do it the "wrong" way.
But the fact is, he accomplishes his tasks as well as I do. Who says my way is better because it is faster? We are talking about seconds, not minutes. And in the process, by keeping my mouth shut, I am not diminishing my husband or criticizing, two character defects that are quite destructive. In addition, I am working on staying in "fit spiritual condition" for another few minutes, which makes it easier to stay abstinent with money.
There's another saying I've heard – "You can be right or you can be happy." Ah, wouldn't it be great if we could be both?! But usually, I have to pick. My addict self really wants to be right. But when I get into even a little bit of fit spiritual condition, I know with absolute certainty on almost every occasion that I need to keep my mouth shut. The feelings will pass. And when they do, I'll be happier in the end.
This relates to delayed gratification with my spending as well. When I am in that painful place where I want want want something and feel like I'll explode or die if I don't get it right then, it's really the same feeling I have when my husband does something "wrong" and I feel I MUST correct him.
In both cases, not proceeding with the spending or the fixing leads to peace.
Sometimes, I am able to later talk to him about the issue if it stays important to me. Most often, I forget after a few minutes what the fuss was all about. It's no different than with that spending obsession. When I don't give in during the peak of it, and wait until the drama subsides, I may come to see that I don't want the item anymore! This has often been the case. Even if I do still want it, the fever pitch is gone when I finally make the purchase.
As someone with a chronic illness, I have learned that stress is a monstrous force. And I have learned that I can choose to work myself up or not, regardless of the external situation. So, for instance, if there is a flood in the house, I can either panic and unleash that toxic adrenaline into my body, which will really do me in, or I can pray and calmly do the next right action, whether it is getting a mop and bucket or calling a service to help.
Never forget, it's not what happens to us that is the determining factor in our peace of mind, but how we react to it. You can definitely change how you receive, perceive, and react to life.
Try practicing on something small, like someone cutting you off in traffic or having to stop at that long red light. If you put your mind to it, you can definitely put yourself into fit spiritual condition with just a little effort when you are conscious and take that moment to pause. And that little effort, I believe, is what they mean by conscious contact with our Higher Power.

Chase and Laura have a modern day romance story that is so common. They met online and then met in person and then fell in love, and the rest is history. I was able to do this gorgeous couple's engagement session at Fall Creek Gallery!
Chase and Laura were on opposite sides of Indianapolis, and Chase had come up to go apartment hunting with Laura, as they were moving in together the following month. They went to lunch at one of their favorite restaurants and then Chase suggested they go to the park. It was busy, and Chase knew how much it meant to Laura that they not have an audience for the proposal, so he led her to a quiet corner of the park on a bridge and got down on one knee.
Laura said they both cried, and kissed, and cried some more. She said her yes was mostly just tears and smiles! The purest joy does not need many words, and joy is the way Laura describes their relationship.
Laura and Chase told me they love their cats, travelling, being outdoors, and going to bookstores together. They both look forward to growing closer in their relationship as they get married and go through their whole lives together. Laura sent me a lovely quote that says, "Love only grows fonder with age and wisdom". What a beautiful outlook at the beginning of a marriage!
Below are just some of my favorites from their engagement session. I adore the ones of the wading into the creek, I love when my clients are all in for their session! Congratulations and Best Wishes Laura and Chase.

Quidditch comes to Backwell School
Gareth Newnham
Quidditch teams practice match and training at Backwell School. Picture: MARK ATHERTON
The wizarding world came to a Backwell school on Sunday as teams playing Quidditch took to the playing field.
Bristol Quidditch Club, a joint venture between Bristol University and The University of West England, are using Backwell School's field to train for the British Quidditch Cup which will be held in Newcastle, on April 9.
The team founded in 2014, originally called The Brizzlepuffs, comprises of two teams the Bears and the Bees.
The sport, which originally featured in J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books, came to the muggle world in 2005, starting with games being played in America, and quickly spread around the globe, with both national leagues and even a world championship.
The game, one of the few full contact sports played with mixed teams, sees two teams of seven attempt to score the most points by throwing a ball through hoops at the end of the hockey sized pitch while staying on their brooms, represented by a 1.2m long stick which players must keep between their legs.
